| As Vanshita in the Star Plus daily Kkavyanjali, Kishwar Merchant may be making her share of well-orchestrated moves at Nitya's (Amrita Singh) behest, but a speeding biker threw the actress totally off-guard on Wednesday afternoon, when she was involved in a road mishap. It left her car damaged and the biker, who rammed her Hyundui Accent, was nearly run over by a tempo. What happened?
The actress was on her way back home to Versova after shooting for Kkavyanjali at Killick Nixon studio, Saki Naka.
"It was about 2.30 pm, and there was bumper-to-bumper traffic at Saki Naka. My car was next to a tempo. Suddenly, a biker raced past, trying to squeeze into the space between the tempo and my car. But he lost control and hit my car, and almost missed being run over by the tempo," says Kishwar, whose driver was at the wheel. Crowd reaction
And as in all such road mishaps, there was the usual milling crowd at the accident spot.
"The biker fell on the car. My vehicle was damaged; the bumper and the fender were dented, and so was the car light. But the crowd began blaming me for it! It was so annoying," fumes Kishwar, who waited for actor boyfriend Hiten Paintal to arrive on the scene.
"As soon as Hiten came, we took the biker to the nearby Y B Hospital, where he was administered first aid. Only then did we go to Saki Naka police station and file a complaint."
Kishwar has already sent her car to the workshop for repairs. "I had to do it immediately. I couldn't bear to see all those bad dents," she exclaims. |
